Problem: Rice is grown with the following environment and genetics: Sunlight = 18 MJ/m2/day Seasonal absorption = 50 % Seasonal Photosynthetic Efficiency = 14% Seasonal Respiration Efficiency = 40% Resources (cost) required to produce 1 kg biomass = 25 MJ/kg (this would be 25 kJ/g biomass) Harvest Index: 53% Days: 175 What would the expected yield be in kg/m2? Make sure you convert everything to these units; if you get an answer in the hundreds or thousands, you are implying that this is the yield you would expect in a 3 ft x 3 ft square, and a kg is heavier than a lb.
